Technology has transformed all aspects of our lives, including what it means to be informed, knowledgeable, and creative. A Personal Knowledge Base (PKB) using the “cloud” application Evernote can be used to accumulate resources related to science, science teaching and other topics of your choosing. Your PKB is an online repository for articles, notes, references, and reflections, and is meant to extend your intelligence and creativity. Since everyone thinks in his or her own way, our PKBs should also be different. Your PKB reflection should describe:
your organizational scheme for your notebooks.
the extent of your current PKB
types of content?
topics? School related? Non school related?
number of notes? (there is no minimum number)
at least one learning or planning strategy that you have used that uses your PKB to augment your current thinking or prepare for student teaching.
questions or difficulties that you still have trying to use Evernote professionally.
I like the idea of Evernote however it took me a while to learn how to use it and it didn't always work. I like the idea that you can easily share things with others. In my Evernote I have all my Praxis study guides and thats what I originally used it for. It had all my PDF's and study guides in one place and was available on my computer, ipad and phone.
I had problems syncing with Evernote, it showed up on mine but not everyone could see it until I closed out of it. It was frustrating. I currently use my safari explorer because all the open tabs and favorited tabs are available on all my devices and I've been using it for years. I have folders ranging from Genetics to Food to DIY things that I'll never use but it's there just in case.
